"Current, comprehensive, and readily accessible to all readers regardless of theft knowledge on the subject, this information-packed resource on freshwater, marine, and terrestrial algae forms focuses on what people really want to know about algae -- why they are so diverse; how they are related; how to distinguish the major types; their roles in food webs, global biogeochemical cycling; the formation of harmful algae bloom; and how we utilize them. Provides a stimulating overview of the importance of algae. Covers biotic associations involving algae, with discussions on herbivory interactions, algal food quality, symbioses, pathogeneic interactions, and more. Considers the economic, ecological, and biotechnological applications of algae, and provides complete coverage on algal biodiversity, classification systems, molecular phylogenetics, and application of molecular information to ecological problems. Offers a detailed study on endosymbiosis, and includes intensive, stand-alone chapters on cryptomonads, dinoflagellates, ochrophytes, red algae, green algae, and phytoplankton ecology. Covers new analytical techniques (i.e. molecular phylogenetics, DNA-based approaches to the study of life cycles, and fluorescence methods for the study for photosynthesis); integrates many interesting boxed essays; and enhances material with numerous photos and illustrations."

Wow... does look like an interesting book... but at that price???????

 

There is a Professor at NWU that kind of specialize on algae but she is super busy.

Always meant to ask if she would maybe join and help us where possible even if it was just with info once in a while.

Will ask my wife to drop by and ask, you never know

 

@Vis What is the Prof's name?

 

I see there is a "used" book for about $5...sounds like an option? Just checks the links on that page.

 

Not sure of her name, we have a little algae book that she wrote.
Will ask my wife when I am home.

 

for that price i hope it comes with a cure

 

called chlorine!
